Re: Tone effects of traverse rate?

Re: Tone effects of traverse rate?Yo Doctor, could you explain more clearly what happens with a ferrous base plate in terms of tone and magnetics. Lollar says it increases high frequency response......but why? If you overwind a single coil and lose the high frequencies as a result will putting a ferrous base plate on it correct this? Does this also override eddy curent high frequency loss from having a metal plate close to the coil? I haven't found any good explanations of this so far.....thanks for any info ......Dave
